The ChatGPT team has a 68-page paper that describes their training language models follow instructions with human feedback. Human labelers rank the ChatGPT outputs from best to worst. The result is a new labeled dataset, where the rankings are the labels. The size of this dataset is approximately 10 times bigger than the curated dataset …
David Budden is a Research Engineering Team Lead, DeepMind. He will discuss Engineering Intelligence. David talked about how innovation can come from anywhere in the company. A Deep Fake (fake picture) project was performed by an intern. It is a myth that deep mind does not open source. Starcraft can take a long time and …
Juergen Schmidhuber is the father of Deep learning Artificial Intelligence. Since age 15 or so, the main goal of professor Jürgen Schmidhuber has been to build a self-improving Artificial Intelligence (AI) smarter than himself, then retire. His lab’s Deep Learning Neural Networks (NNs) (since 1991) and Long Short-Term Memory have transformed machine learning and AI, …
HRL researchers originally made headlines with a famous image of a metal microlattice structure resting atop an unaffected dandelion. Now the material has been vetted and confirmed by the Guinness book as having no peer among metals when it comes to weight. Made of nickel phosphorus, the microlattice is approximately 100 times lighter than Styrofoam®. …
Today, the future of world population growth looks more uncertain than it did a decade ago because of a controversial recent stalling of fertility decline in a number of African countries and a controversy over how low below replacement level fertility will fall, particularly in China. Probabilistic population projections try to quantify these uncertainties based …
A team previously funded by NASA, are continuing the design and testing of an antimatter thruster capable of reaching 10% lightspeed. In 2002 they were funded by the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts to perform preliminary work on an antimatter-based propulsion system. This campaign seeks to fund a continuation of the design and experimental validation …
The Philippines took China to the PCA (Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague) in January 2013 after the Chinese navy seized control of Scarborough Shoal, a largely submerged chain of reefs and rocks amid rich fishing grounds off the Philippine island of Luzon. The ruling could lead to more friction between China and the …
Franky Zapata crushed the old world record of 905ft for the farthest hoverboard flight. The Flyboard Air inventor set the record Saturday in France, riding his hoverboard over 7,388 feet The flyboard air has four turbo engines on the board, two more are on the sides for stabilization. Each engine has 250 horsepower. Flyboard Air …
Spacex updated its website information on the payload that can be launched by the Falcon 9 and the Falcon Heavy. The Falcon 9 rocket is now rated for 22,800 kg (50,265 lb) into low earth orbit versus old data at 13,150 kg (28,990 lb). The Falcon Heavy has also been given an increased payload for …
Pratt and Whitney’s Michael Winter gave an overview of future plane engines. He noted that lithium ion batteries have lower energy density than goose fat and honey. Rechargable batteries are not that far off in terms of cost for energy compared to fuels. The near and mid-term is larger and more efficient turbine engines. Electric …
Here are the important developments in genetics and other technologies identified by Ray Kurzweil in his Playboy interview Joslin Diabetes Center turned off the fat insulin receptor gene that tells you to hold on to every calorie in your fat cells. That was a good idea 10,000 years ago when our genes evolved, because the …
